If the model had extended to Wizards in e4, that would have saved another headache in the product we are just releasing. (I still vote for help as #1!) The product is the deployment tool for our J2EE application. I wanted a wizard where the first page asked how many database servers, reporting servers, and application servers are in the deployment. And then I wanted one page for each server requested. I could find no way of doing this with the JFace provided Wizard and ended up having to do my own one. I think that if we had a model based wizard, then I probably could have altered the model in mid-course, and have the UI adapt to that. I could have rendered the UI I wished without having to develop it all myself. I'm not going to speak to consistency, or abstract appropriateness. But I just wanted to chime in with a good practical example of how having this would have made it easier to use e4 in production.
